The girls and I saw Slumdog Millionaire today after church. I wasn't expecting too much or too little. I was going to take it at face value.
It was wonderful! I had read so many reviews that had said it was extremely depressing. Yes, depressing, true. But it was balanced with perfect hits of humor as well. And for all those who said it was an "unbelieveable" storyline, as a Christian I saw nothing unbelieveable in it. God has worked out many stories more "unbelieveable" than this one, that are in fact, amazingly true. I could see this happening with no problem at all. (with the small exception of the wonderful scene at the very, very end. That just brings to film, my love of a good Bollywood movie. That's it. No juicy review today. Just a suggestion that you go decide for yourself while it's still out on the big screen.
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great He is. Psalm 145:3

- I'm a 46 year old mother who homeschools one, watches another homeschool herself and sends a third off to the dear little school on the other side of town. I'm a mom trying to come to terms that two of my offspring will be leaving this home and heading out sooner than I can grasp in my heart. I'm a mom who is trying to transition to that fact by slowly letting out the apron strings that bind them to me.

Charlie and I loved the movie. It was a wonderful story, well told, thoughtfully acted and visually breathtaking. Dickens meets Mumbai with a lot of humor. I thought many scenes were difficult to watch, but it all made sense as the young man's life came into focus. We thought it was a brilliant unfolding of providence.
LOVED it! specially the last scene. eric's like "why are they dancing? that makes no sense." i was like "they're finally together--that's what you want to do when you've found the person you love.!! you dance about it!" even if it's just in your head sometimes.
he got it:)
Kyrie, explain to Eric, please,that Bollywood dancing scenes aren't about "sense". They're about the beauty and fun:) You pegged it nicely in your explanation to him.
Lynne, you're right, the unfolding of it was brilliant.
